A collection chamber for collecting fluid and other debris from an ear canal is secured to the handle element. The collection chamber has a reservoir therein for collecting and storing accumulated fluid and debris from the ear canal. An ear insertion element is secured to the collection chamber. The ear insertion element has an aperture therein, the aperture being continuous with the reservoir in the collection chamber. The motor in the handle creates a vacuum within the collection chamber, enabling fluids and debris to be drawn from the ear canal into the reservoir by suction.
